“…Figure 2 shows the XRD patterns of the powders solvothermally prepared in various mixed solvents, pure water (E0H10), 20% (E2H8), 40% (E4H6), 60% (E6H4), 80% (E8H2) and pure ethanol (E10H0), at 120°C for 40 h. Although the SrTiO 3 (ST) phase did not form in pure ethanol due to the insolubility of Sr(OH) 2 ·8H 2 O, the perovskite cubic ST phase formed without secondary phase at 120°C when the ethanol concentration in the mixed solvent was >40 vol %, which was closely related to the low dielectric constant (¾) of each solvent (¾ ,water = 80, ¾ ,EtOH = 25). 19) Theoretically, a solvent with a low dielectric constant makes the solution more supersaturated, 20) and the relationship between the nucleation rate and supersaturation can be expressed using the Arrhenius rate equation.…”
